On a sweltering July day in Calabria, at my parents' house, I was looking through some photos of my daughter Carolina while she slept beside me, curled up in her little wicker basket.

On a sweltering July day in Calabria, at my parents' house, I was looking through some photos of my daughter Carolina while she slept beside me, curled up in her little wicker basket. I alternated these photos with ultrasound images from her gestation, following the incredible progression of her development over nine months until she was fully formed.

I was there for every check-up, experiencing the joy of each milestone. I’ll never forget the thrill of discovering her gender at 17 weeks. As I watched her now, peacefully sleeping, I was filled with wonder at the sight of my beautiful daughter.

While she slept, I began absentmindedly doodling on a supermarket flyer, tracing random curves and lines. Suddenly, Carolina stirred, waking me from my state of enchantment. I felt an idea forming, but I didn’t yet understand what it was.

Later that evening, as I smoked my Toscano on the balcony, I looked back at the flyer, and it all became clear. In those doodles, I saw what I had unknowingly created—the Carolina Table Lamp. Inspired by her ultrasound images, I recreated those shapes in my own way. The two overlapping layers of the lamp, with their intersecting curves, represent the stages of conception, growth, and birth—a purely artistic interpretation of the journey of life.

As soon as I returned to Romania, I crafted the first prototype of the Carolina and brought it home.

This lamp is dedicated to you, my wonderful Carolina—a tribute to the joy and beauty you bring into my life.

The body of the lamp is crafted from composite material, offering a beautifully smooth and resilient surface, while the base is made from solid iron to ensure stability and durability. The lamp’s color is achieved through a meticulous multi-step painting process, resulting in a matte sandblasted finish.

The Carolina Table Lamp features a remote-controlled dimming option with a driver that works with both 110V and 220V, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to various settings and regions.

Light Source: 14.5W LED/ 2700 K

Each lamp in this limited series comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that lists its unique serial number, production date, and specific characteristics, confirming its originality and uniqueness.

Every Carolina Table Lamp is meticulously handcrafted, with each piece bearing small, unique imperfections that add to its artistic value. Created with CE-certified materials, this lamp is not only a light source but a true work of art, bringing both beauty and a sense of personal story into any interior.

Since I was a child, I used to craft lamps and candle holders using unusual materials for that time (the 1980s): chalk, copper, lead enriched with sea glass-stones found on the Ionian coast where I grew up.

A passion for light that slowly grew, completed by notes of design and a thirst for knowledge about materials, their use, and their behavior.
However, there comes a time when life, for obvious reasons of survival, detaches you from your passions.

In 1989, I left Calabria and moved to Turin, where I was hired as a designer at the Morelli Picentino Associati architecture studio. At the same time, I attended the Guarino Guarini Institute. During my years in Piemonte, I designed and produced some pendant and floor lamps.

In 1999, I was offered the position of technical director at a company developing a chain of restaurants featuring traditional Italian cuisine.

For the next seven years, I supervised countless construction sites, traveling non-stop by plane, car, and train, always accompanied by my trolley and work bag.

In 2006, I was offered the same position in a different sector (residential and hotel projects) in Romania. I accepted and continued life as usual until my son Riccardo was born in 2010.
A few months after his birth, I realized I couldn’t devote the time to my son that every father, in my opinion, should. So, I took a break to reflect on the next steps in my working life.

After days of thinking, I made my decision: it was time for a change. My lifelong passion for light had to take shape.

I founded Cristofaroluce and began my journey. Unfortunately, the market in the country where I live is very brand-oriented and underestimates the beauty of unknown origins. To survive, I began offering custom lighting systems, achieving great success and acquiring important international brands as clients. But it wasn’t what I had dreamed of.

In 2022, when my daughter Carolina was born, the unthinkable happened: I stepped back from the Romanian market and custom projects. Instead, I focused on developing all the creations I had conceived and designed over the years.

I started a repositioning operation, and after months of agony, my designs began to find success across Europe and the United States.

The courage to start again, coupled with a fair dose of recklessness, has never abandoned me. I will remain the hard-headed Calabrese I have always been, until the end.

This courage has led me to meet incredible people who have added immense value to my passion. Alisa, Paolo, Giovanna, Adela, Simona, Anthony, Diego, Vlad, and Francesca have reinforced my belief that I am on the right path.

Recently, I’ve realized something important about myself: what I do isn’t about simply making light. Anyone can screw in a light bulb. What I aspire to is far more ambitious—to rule the shadows.
